Juan's back from the land of the rising sun. In Episode #448 of 'Meanderings' Juan & I discuss: economic reasons for wanting to travel, Juan's impression after returning 5 years later, my recent thoughts on taking a break, focusing upon things that are easy and bring me joy, why living in a dog house is not as bad as it could be & the solitary appeal of cats.
